The wonderful ladies behind the amazing Afghan food blog, www.afghancooking.net, say this dish is “America’s favorite Afghan dish”. And Mousa Amiri of Bamiyan Restaurant says this is “one of the most requested” dishes at his restaurant. I can see why. This sweet and spicy pumpkin or butternut squash dish is simple to make, and the flavors are incredible.

I just wandered over here from a friend’s Facebook post, your blog name intrigued me because I am always looking for more vegetarian meal ideas We have some awesome Afghan restaurants in my city, but they serve mostly grilled meat and rice, so I would love to check this book out and find out more about Afghan cuisine beyond the standard restaurant fare. Off to check some of your other recipes now
BTW would frozen squash work for this recipe? I find it v hard to cut fresh squash (carpal tunnel…)

I prepared this dishes this weekend and added some broccoli floret as well.
It was delicious! I was my first taste of afghan cuisine and I have to say, it made me want to try more.
Thank you very much for this recipe

Looks delicious! I was just wondering what besides soup I can make with butternut squash when I was at the produce market a few hours ago. Can’t wait to try. I absolutely love your blog and your photographs!!

I am inspired to try the Afghan restaurant Kabul, which I have always driven by and never gone to! I just went to their website to look at their menu, and I can’t wait to open my eyes to a new culture of food! I just had Ethiopian last week, and I look forward to trying new spice combinations again! Yum!!

You have a fantastic blog and love to see a blog dedicated to great multi-cuisine vegetarian food. Your photography is spectacular and a treat to the eye.

This is the first time I am coming across a good vegetarian recipe from Afghan region. I love the sweet spice combo and I am sure this will be a hit recipe for me. Borani Kadoo is such an interesting name too and I love it
